Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Meng Qian's specialness has subtly brought a lot of hesitation in decision-making to American companies, and it is true that more American entrepreneurs have different ideas about Meng Qian.

But they still have no intention of making concessions. It is impossible for Meng Qian to really change the entrepreneurs in the United States with his own vision, because they are only entrepreneurs after all. Behind them, there are capital and politics. There is not much ability to change capital and politics, and the confrontation is still there, but the atmosphere has become more and more confusing, and everything has become strangely flat.

But as a reborn, Meng Qian knew that this bizarre harmony would not last long, because capital would take action, and politics would take action.

Therefore, Meng Qian convened a meeting with the heads of almost all project teams in the company. Those who could participate on-site participated on-site, and those who could not participate on-site participated by video.

"A lot of things have happened recently, and everyone should have felt it. In fact, I said at the annual meeting that we have laid a good foundation in the first ten years, which can be regarded as a solid foundation. In the next ten years, we will build At the stage of the building, what kind of image our Dafeng Group will show in front of the world in the end depends on how we build this building in the next ten years.

The reason why I brought everyone together today is to share with you some of my personal thoughts. I hope that we can create a completely different building, instead of people just saying, oh, the building is pretty. High, but it’s still the same thing. I hope that people in the world will be amazed when they see us ten years later. It turns out that buildings can still be built like this. "

Everyone took out pens and paper and prepared to record, "In the current process of technological development, I have summarized three common technological development models. The first is analogy, the second is iteration, and the third is the third. Oneness principle.

The so-called analogy is a development model based on experience. Through the use of past experience, we can find patterns and characteristics to gradually promote product development. In the field of analogy development, Intel is a representative company.

The advantage of this technology development model lies in its excellence, while the disadvantage lies in its limitations.

The so-called iteration is essentially a process of repeated feedback, and the result is continuously approached through continuous repetition. An important difference between iteration and analogy is that the result obtained in each iteration will be used as the initial value of the next iteration. Evolutionary thinking mode, he needs experience, but is above experience.

This iterative process is actually a decoupling process. Making good use of this iterative mode can effectively avoid misunderstandings brought about by experience, and constantly break through product limitations through technological development and user needs. The result of this process is, Optimize and innovate.

The iconic company of iteration is Apple. Apple has almost no original technology, but Apple has achieved effective innovation in all previous technologies. The same technology, in the hands of Apple, knows how to make the technology more in line with user needs. "

When Meng Qian took Apple as an example, the employees' reaction was a bit indifferent. The main reason is that the Apple mobile phone in this life was suppressed by Dafeng Group, and Apple has no reputation in China.

"Finally, let's talk about the first principle. Aristotle said that in every systematic exploration, the first principle of existence is the most basic proposition or hypothesis, which cannot be ignored or deleted, nor can it be ignored. violation.

In fact, the current technological development is basically analogous thinking and iterative thinking, until more people began to consider first principles, which gave a new way of thinking for technological development. In terms of first principles, the iconic company is Tesla.

Musk used the first principle to break the traditional confinement of the battery, and realized Tesla's technical advantages in the battery. The so-called first principle, the core is to abandon everything and constantly dig out the essence of things.

The biggest advantage of the first principle is that it can approach or even approach the optimal solution, so the first principle corresponds to subversion. "

The employees listened very carefully, and Meng Qian continued to go deeper, "After talking about these three models of technological development, we should discuss carefully what kind of thinking model we should start with for the development of Dafeng Group.

I don’t know if anyone thinks that the first principle is the best way to think about technological development after reading these three interpretations? "

Meng Qian asked, but no one raised their hands in the conference room, Meng Qian nodded with a smile, "Whether someone didn't raise their hands out of shyness or not, I hope everyone really doesn't think so.

I believe that when the interpretation of these three modes is put on the Internet, many netizens will think that the first principle is the most powerful. Compared with the previous analogy and iterative mode, it seems to be very backward, and then they start to praise Musk.

But as scientific researchers, everyone must have the ability to think independently. We must remember that any thinking must have a problem of adaptability, especially for the development of science and technology, adaptability is very important.

Was the first principle in technological development pioneered by Musk? Of course not, many people have used this thinking mode in history, such as our company's trump card technology artificial intelligence.

In the era of neural networks, some people realized that the key to artificial intelligence is big data analysis. They abandoned some complicated content and wanted the algorithm to learn by itself, but they all failed.

They were not wrong, they also saw the essence of things, but the hardware conditions at that time were not enough, and the algorithm logic at that time also had problems. What we can do today, we could not do it 20 years ago, so the use of first principles What's the big premise? "

"Basic environment." The person sitting in the front row responded.

Meng Qian nodded and said he was right, "Subversion is of course good, who doesn't want to be a subversive, but sometimes you just can't subvert.

But the same theory cannot be subverted this year, and may be subverted next year, especially in this ever-changing era, we never know when the foundation is enough.

Therefore, effective subversion may become a frequent trial and error process in this era. If this is the case, have you noticed any interesting things happen? Subversion requires analogy and iteration.

So today I would like to propose a brand new theory: the dynamic cycle development model. "

Meng Qian put the principles of the model on the big screen for everyone to see for themselves, "In my opinion, there is no distinction between the three modes of first principles, iteration, and analogy, but a complementary relationship.

Many people in the physics field are pursuing a unified theory, hoping to explain everything with a simple theory. Einstein pursued it like this, Newton pursued it like this, and the latecomers are even more in search of this unified theory.

What is the grand unified theory of physics? Ordinary people like me may not know for a lifetime, but regarding the process of technological development, I suddenly thought, maybe we can find the possibility of a grand unified theory, but this grand unified theory Theory is dynamic.

Let's look at these three models and think about it, subverting again and again, innovating again and again, repeating again and again, and doing these things again and again, what is this?

Many employees stared more and more until someone shouted, "Create!"

Meng Qian gave an affirmative look, "Yes, we will suddenly find that this is actually a process of continuous creation. I am not 100% sure that this theory is correct, but I am willing to try to use this dynamic change as a A grand unified theory.

A dynamic repetitive behavior of subversive innovation may become the best model for technological development.

If you think this theory has something to learn from, then in the next work, you can consider carrying out collaborative work based on the three lines of subversion, innovation and repetition, and try to verify the feasibility of this theory.

Because our goal is to be a creative enterprise.

In the next ten years, I hope everyone can create an unprecedented building. "
